Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. A nice round 6.
Hoping Storm Barra isn’t going to be as bad as predicted. Had an adventurous walk around Tarn Hows yesterday. Was more than half way round when we came across an assault course of uprooted trees. Of course we had to go over/under/through them. It wasn’t a pretty sight! Not very dignified at all! Got through them, about five in all, and there was a sign telling folks not to go any further! If only we’d decided to walk clockwise! We also had sleet pelting us too! It was great fun. 🙂 A very tough 6.7 miles.

A day in today, could be a bit foolhardy going out, lots of trees leaning very precariously. Fingers crossed it won’t be a bad as Arwen. It’s definitely left it’s mark on the Lake District. :(

Have a good day everyone. Hope things go well @SueEK. 🙂

Here’s a photo I took yesterday before I turned into Bear Grylls! The sun just popped out for a few moments. I’m pretty pleased with it. Mr Eggy begrudgingly said it was better than his shot. :D

6.9 this morning, bit higher than I'd hoped, but got woken too early and am now hungry, so BG done so I can eat.
 
07:26 BS 7.8. Completely forgot to check in yesterday! 😳 About the same time with BS 8.1 after a curry from the night before last: just fancied one from my local takeaway!😛

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Binged watched all 15 episodes of Superman & Lois yesterday, & some on Sunday, on iPlayer & I loved it! 😛

Also, got a rather surprising but, interesting call,from the new mental health nurse employed by my health centre! 😱 She introduced herself & just when I was thinking “why am I getting a call from mental health nurse?”, she said what I just thought:D & answered the question! She IS a mental health nurse but, also a social worker & was introducing herself to the practice’s patients to primarily tell them the range of new services of mental health & social services available in the coming new year after Christmas. We had a general chat about my health issues of diabetes & asthma & asked if I was happy with the care I was getting. I said I was pretty happy about my diabetes care & just started a new routine with the switchover to Tresiba but, hadn’t been seen about asthma this year at all & would like another review. So, she’s going to set up with the asthma specialist nurse at the practice & she also told me my covid booster will be coming soon & the letter was just posted on the 3rd Dec. & will be getting it this week. No mail yesterday & I’ll keep a lookout for it to see when my booster appointment is?:confused:
 
Morning all, 5.3 here, got to toddle down the road later for blood tests ready for a clinic telephone appt next week. I haven’t set foot in the surgery since same time last year for previous bloods, I assume they are still making us wait outside and then sweeping us in and out with the instruction 'Don't touch anything!' At least I’m able to get them done, and the vial shortage seems to be resolved.

Lovely photo, @eggyg , it reminds me of the picture I had on a tin of crayons when I was little (Lakeland pencils. Remember those?). I expect they paid good money for someone to take it.

Hope the appointment goes well, @SueEK , hopefully you're nearly there by now.
 
@Robin sadly not, about half way and apparently queues further up on M25 drat it. @eggyg what a beautiful scene.
See you all later xx
 
PS where have all the HSs gone, not that I ever contribute?
 
4.9 at 3.20a.m. Gathering storm had me up a tad early to check on animals but I did my bloods before venturing into the dark...what a surprise! Maybe I need to set the alarm earlier than 07.15 to get a good score:confused:
 
4.6 for me this morning. 🙂
It's wet and windy out there - no walkies for me! 😡

Morning

9.5 today

Yet 2 more errors thrown from strips, trust it to happen when I'm on a shortage! NEVER had one in the just over a year I've been using the Contour meter 🙄 never mind fingers crossed everything gets sorted this afternoon and they can have my supplies ready for Saturday!

Very frosty outside this morning but no sign of snow here yet xx

Morning all. Score on the door, 7.4. Can only think it was because we ate late, 8pm, went to bed 10.30 on 9.1, so didn’t have a clue what was going to happen. Turns out I was pretty steady all night.

Had a five mile walk yesterday up to Grizedale Forest, it was closed! 😱You were advised not to enter because of the damage done by Arwen it could be dangerous. We’d walked up a very steep hill we weren’t turning back! It was fine on the main path through but on the bridle way back to the village we spent a lot of time climbing around , over and even under in my case on my hands and knees! My dodgy parts just wouldn’t play! Got home safely but very muddy. Weather the next two days isn’t good, today the better of two evils so walking up to Tarn Hows. Tomorrow Storm Barra is on his way! :(

Have a Happy Morning all and stay safe. 🙂

I crawled under this one!

Deeply impressed!
PS. How do you close a forest ?
 
Morning all

8.4 today, but that will be the Christmas meal I went to last night, no wine as I was driving oh and maybe sampling the misshapen pieces of fudge that didn’t make into the bag.

@SueEK - hope it all goes well, if you make it to the appointmen.

@Kaylz - this strip situation is disgusting.

Have a good day everyone and hope you all avoid the worst of this storm.
 
Morning all
6.4 today. Yay me!
In other news, dropped 500 grams overnight. Here's how you do it.
Monday, regular visit to acupuncturist.
Rest of Monday, wee continuously.
Tuesday, weight down.
Rest of week, weight climbs back on ...
 
Morning All
A 7.7 for me this morning so that seems roughly correct.
Following yesterday’s conversation with the DSN I had a 19:30 evening meal of
4 Sausage, 83g Onion, 180g Instant Mash. 150g mixed vegetables, 15g gravy granules, 200g Fat Free Greek yoghurt, 107g Banana and a mug of coffee. ( 108g Carb. 44 Protein. 20 fat 815 cal)
BG before meal 7.1 so had 10 units NovoRapid.
Finished meal nice and full.
At 10 Pm. BG 8.6
By bed23:30 BG 8.1
Had the 7 Lantus (ok with 2 digestive biscuits as didn’t want major drop overnight). The night before had dropped from 12 to 8
Woke this morning to a 7.7
Not quite sure on how the Lantus works but the bolus is seeming to keep things steady after meals, but will step up testing to see what happens.
Have a great day.
 
Good very late morning all. Up at 9am that's five hours later then yesterday, and yes, a delivery driver turned up early too!!!

It eill be interesting to see if the surgery do actually sort out the eye meds today. I have a feeling that they will, but only after I intervened yesterday.

Very gusty out there this morning

4.3 BG very low for me. Hmmm

Wrapping delivered presents planned for today, then, nothing......zzzzzz

Have a great day whatever you are doing
 
6.2 this morning after 10km run this morning on a very circuitous route to work.
